Host Tim says:
A Task Force of four combat wings, sixteen vessels, has been modified and prepared with the U.S.S. Scimitar as the force leader. The three other wings are commanded by the U.S.S. Nighthawk (a vessel with intimate knowledge of the alien realm), the U.S.S. Dublin and the U.S.S. Vesuvius.

Host Tim says:
The Task Force moved to just outside the Sol system where the Scimitar, using a modified subspace folding device, created a spacial rift.  A vibrant display of colors flooded the view screens, blues, purples, white and pink... In a bright flash of white light the rift stabilizes... a large purple swirling rift, crackling with energy.

Host Tim says:
The Nighthawk and her escort ships glided gently toward the rift... as they entered the ships rocked slightly and seemed to vanish.  The rest of the Task Force made their way to the rift just as the last of the Nighthawk wing disappeared.

Host Tim says:
Its three Akiras in trace the Vesuvius flew into the rift and with bolts of energy sparking about it,,, vanished. The Dublin wing quickly followed - weapons hot, shields up.

Host Tim says:
As the U.S.S. Scimitar moved into the rift a voice echoed through the task force's comm systems as though speaking to them from thousands of light years away... "A gift from a friend...".  The transmission sent disruptions through the Scimitar and the subspace folding device failed.

Host Tim says:
Space seemed to ripple in a twisting wave throughout the ship as the Dublin went black and the ship lurched violently.  As power fails Ensign Clooney sees the readings from the subspace rift.. the field has collapsed... the ships in their wing have lost power... and the other 12 ships are gone... whereabouts unknown.
